Imagine the horror, and likely on a NB no less!

Only having to wait 60 days for a 2 year tax free retirement supplement of $14,339 per month plus at least 120 hours from the ESB doesn’t seem very unpleasant, especially considering that the company will also be putting money into their retirement plan.

The bigger issue will be if ICAO doesn’t follow, or takes a long time to change.

I expect the FAA to use it as an excuse to re evaluate the medical process.

I look forward to our 6mo mental competency and stress tests.

I was under the impression that this would allow those that have already retired to come back to their original seniority. Is this correct? Also that 67 would add 2 years and until their 68th birthday. So essentially 3 years minus 1 day. Is this also correct?

It’s being sold as a means to mitigate the pilot shortage, not amplify it.

I don’t believe the bill as proposed outlines how airlines have to offer callbacks, deal with seniority, etc., or even whether they do at all. There would almost certainly be multiple lawsuits in the years to follow.
